Taylor Swift brings her Reputation tour to Cleveland Tuesday.

CLEVELAND -- Are you ready for it?

Pop sensation Taylor Swift brings her Reputation tour to Cleveland Tuesday. While the event should be one of the city's best concerts of the year, there are a few things Swifties should know before heading downtown.

What time do doors open?

5:30 p.m. Fans should plan to arrive early to pass through gate security.

What time is the concert?

The show's opening acts begin at 7 p.m., but don't expect Ms. Swift to take the stage until later. According to the stadium's website, the show is expected to end around 11 p.m.

Who are the opening acts?

Pop singer Camila Cabello, known for the catchy hit Havana, and Charli XCX, known for Boom Clap, will open.

Is the show sold out?

Tickets are still available via Ticketmaster, starting at $94 as of Monday morning. Click here to see them.

Can I bring my purse in?

Take note that the NFL's bag policy still applies to concerts. That means only "approved" bags will be permitted inside FirstEnergy Stadium.

Approved bags are no larger than 4 1/2 by 6 1/2 inches, unless one has an NFL-approved clear plastic tote. Backpacks, camera bags and large purses are not allowed. Bags will be checked upon entry.

What about signs and posters?

Fans can bring signs, banners and posters smaller than 11 by 17 inches inside the stadium. Be aware that signs must be appropriate and cannot obstruct any views.

Can I bring a camera?

Cameras without detachable lenses are permitted, as long as they don't disrupt the view to other fans.

Where are my seats?
